Delallo Acini Di Pepe No.70 — Tiny Pearl Pasta for Everyday Meals

DeLallo Acini Di Pepe No.70 arrives ready to inspire countless weeknight and weekend dishes. This 1 lb bag features the classic bead-shaped pasta that cooks quickly and offers a light, buoyant bite. While it’s humble in appearance, its tiny pearls invite sauces to cling gently and create a delicate mouthfeel in every bowl. Using this pasta can be a simple way to elevate soups, salads, and sauces without dominating the plate.

What makes it a versatile choice

The No.70 size is designed to hold sauces in its little cups, delivering a subtle starchiness as it softens. Its neutral flavor acts as a reliable backdrop for vegetables, seafood, and herbs, letting freshness and aromatics shine. This balance makes it suitable for a variety of kitchen styles, from rustic soups to bright, herb-forward dishes.

• Even cooking: the tiny pearls cook consistently, helping soups and stews maintain a gentle texture.
• Flavor-friendly base: a neutral canvas that pairs with vegetables, seafood, and light olive oil sauces.
• Convenient packaging: a standard 1 lb bag that stores neatly in a pantry for quick meals.

Culinary ideas and practical uses

In soups, Acini Di Pepe adds texture and a warm, comforting feel without overwhelming other ingredients. In chilled pasta salads, the pearls provide structure and visual interest, while a simple olive oil dressing and lemon zest finish beautifully. For a weeknight pasta, toss with garlic, olive oil, and sautéed mushrooms for a light, satisfying plate.

• Soups: swirl into broths for a silky, small-bite texture that soaks up flavor.
• Salads: fold into cold preparations with citrus, herbs, and vegetables for a refreshing bite.
• Light sauces: pair with olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, and herbs for a quick, vibrant dish.
